Sandy Bridge is not yet supported, but possy has put together a wiki which works on SOME SB hardware, some it is known to fail. This is not a supported architecture. I MAY take a stab at it IF detected... but failure will not be met with effort to fix.

Lastly, the other things we went over have been addressed, and the latest build and snapshot, as of today, should work much better and differently.

Using LMCE-1004-20120429132625935.iso. Hybrid install works. Have 2 MDs up and running I had to run Diskless_CreateTBZ, otherwise no MDs would boot. The other MD is stuck at 640x480 cant get AV wizard to run on it. Its an intel graphics. Tried to delete the xorg.conf, but still cant get the AV wizard to start. Anytime I start an MD up, Both of my internal hard drives go off line. Need to log in to webadmin and tick back online and quick reload of router.

See my post about video resolutions... Had the same/similar problem. What I did was to edit the xorg.conf as root (maybe unnecessary), edit the MD settings in the Web Admin, and select the button for rebuilt MD...

Diskless has been fixed.I have made changes which hopefully fixed the avwizard sizing problems as well.I have also fixed nvidia-install.sh to handle older cards.

Couldnt get the MD to finish. On first boot failed to set up x. Rebooted it and the AV wizard came up. That's as far as I got. Just sits there with black screen with the white cursor. Its a Acer revo 1600.

On that subject... if anyone has one of the dual integrated gpu laptops, this is what it was designed to address... but anyone who has an integrated gpu and a card, if you wouldn't mind testing this code by NOT disabling the onboard in bios, I would appreciate feedback.

Desktop on core is still an issue. I will figure something out eventually. MDs do not have the ownership issue.

Core only installs have two problems. 1. There is no easy way to reload the router without an MD. The first MD you try to create, requires a router reload. The MD doesn't know when it is far enough along to simply script a messagesend. So, I will have to change the C code to fake an ident and reload the router right before the first MD reboot. Not really a big deal, but annoying for now if you are trying to get one up and running. 2. I have no idea how to setup MythTV without a hybrid. This is a bit more problematic. If your core has capture cards, myth has to be configured on the core afik. You can use the MD if you have a network capture device like an HDHR, but... I don't have anything in place to deal with core only.

I have changed a lot w regards to what I believe you ran into problems with. AVWizard to be sure, and the sources.list availability scheme. I personally have that revo in my bedroom, and can tell you they work brilliantly. This latest iso has a LOT of functionality upgrades... whereas the last 6 were minor one liner changes fooling with some things. I do recommend giving it a shot.
